- 1 teaspoon pure maple syrup (you can add an additional teaspoon for more flavor)
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon Himalayan pink salt

Toasted Almonds:
- 1/3 cup chopped almonds (optional: walnuts)
- 1/4 teaspoon virgin coconut oil
Garnish:

Instructions
Prep:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean-up.
- Clean and trim off the ends of the green beans.
Maple Dijon Vinaigrette:
- In a small bowl, mix the maple dressing ingredients together and set aside.
Toasted Almonds:
- Heat coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add nuts. Stir constantly for approximately 3-5 minutes (less time if your nuts are finely chopped) until the nuts are evenly coated in the coconut oil and are toasted. It’s important to stir constantly or the nuts will burn. Remove nuts from heat and set aside.

- Remove beans from oven. Add crushed red pepper and garlic. Stir beans to coat evenly. Bake the beans an additional 5 minutes or until they reach desired crispness/tenderness.
